The Mangler

Jim Cummings, the voice of iconic characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, Pete, Ed the Hyena, Ray the Firefly, Hondo Ohnaka, Dr. Robotnik and a variety of other animated characters, provided the vocal effects for the titular machine and was glad to get to work with director Tobe Hooper, whom he was a fan of, but felt that the strain put on his throat by making the Mangler noises and the quality of the film itself wasn't worth the effort. He once saw the film on television and was amused to see that his name was misspelled as 'Tim Cummings' in the end credits, as it meant that he got paid to do a bad film and no one would even know he had been involved.

Mark incorrectly refers to a time in New England when witches were burned. This was actually a death sentence during medieval times in Europe, when someone was convicted of witchcraft. Colonial witch trials carried out the death sentence by hanging.

Available in an R-rated version and an Unrated "director's cut". The unrated version contains very graphic versions of scenes, including Mrs. Frawley's and Gartley's deaths.
